Annihilation by VanderMeer but make it folk horror. 

This book had the pieces to be great, but unfortunately fell short of the mark. The plot was somewhat plodding, which could have been intentional given the "being stalked by an unknown predator" element. And that would have been fine, had it not been paired with a lack of resolution in the end. Cool idea for a book, though.
